In last week’s poll, we asked our readers how they exercise their horses during the winter months. More than 900 readers responded, and we’ve tallied the results! 

Of the 905 voters, 301 individuals (33%) said their horses get exercise while staying out on pasture all winter long, while 211 voters (23%) said their horses get exercise via daily turnout. Another 189 readers (21%) keep their horses in full training during the winter, while an additional 175 voters (19%) said they ride their horses lightly during the winter. Only 29 individuals (3%) indicated they exercise their horses by hand walking or longeing during the cold weather.
